25. Debatable, but before we get ANYWHERE near either option...

There is due process. Has there been due process? Have there been trials resulting in convictions, resulting in sentences.

I did not see that in the post that I responded to. My reading comprehension may not be all there today, did I miss that? Or was I correct in questioning why we need to build concentration camps.

Also, WHO are we building these camps for? Insurrectionists from the 6th? They will likely be put into prison. Congress people and Senators who are using the rules to obstruct legislation? If so, then my response to you stands... Where is the due process?

I would like to see Trump, his offspring, and anyone who follows him in this "big lie" bullshit, receive consequences. I think that he needs to be charged with sedition, however, even though I am not an attorney, I know enough to know that any charges of sedition right now, would not likely result in a conviction. So, we need to wait, we need to do what we can (Call our reps and Senators, vote, campaign, work with civic organizations to get others to vote, etc...) to resist the Republicans.

Firing squads and concentration camps are NOT the solution.
